There's a longing for something more, something that makes us feel like we belong, something that resonates perfectly with who we were made to be. This longing is no small thing to be brushed off and forgotten - it's a guidepost letting us know we were made for another world. Earth is not our home. But it's close.

Drawing out the similarities found by studying over 1,000 accounts of near-death experiences around the globe, John Burke unfolds a compelling and comforting vision of a world where we are free from pain; we feel fully known and accepted; we are greeted by loved ones.

Most books about the end times focus on the events described in biblical prophecy—wars, natural disasters, economic turmoil, and more—rather than the One who is revealed in those events. The result? God's people end up fearful about what is to come rather than hopeful about Who is to come. But the Bible's prophecies of the last days can fill us with joy and peace as we anticipate the return and reign of our beloved savior, Jesus Christ. In Jesus Revealed in the End Times, bestselling author Dr. Robert Jeffress takes a radically different approach to prophecy.

God ordained human government to restrain evil and punish evildoers.

Spiritual warfare is a battle against the dark forces of the enemy. It is a fight that has eternal consequences. It is serious business, and rightly so. But have we been so focused on the darkness that we have overlooked the Light? Many of us exhaust ourselves striving against Satan in our own strength, unknowingly employing the enemy's own tactics rather than resting in Christ's triumphant finished work. These methods frustrate us and keep us from experiencing victory and deliverance.
